Memphis native Bettye Crutcher attemped to get into professional songwriting at Hi Records, but when that didn’t work she found herself around the corner at the fameed Stax Records studio as a lyracist in 1967.
In Rob Bowman’s Soulsville U.S.A.: The Story of Stax Records, she lamented that at first the music writers didn’t take her seriously: “The only way I would get a song a on a session, I was just persistent. I mean, I was just there. They were going to listen to me until they got tired of me.” And Crutcher was persistent.
A nurse and and single parent of three sons, she would work all day, go home and cook dinner for her children, and then head to Stax, where she often would stay until 4 a.m. Her persistence paid off and Crutcher eventually joined with Homer Banks and Raymond Jackson to form the legendary “We Three” Stax songwriting team, who wrote, among other smash hits, Johnnie Taylor’s “Who’s Making Love,” which sold two million copies. In addition to writing with “We Three,” Crutcher wrote with Sir Mack Rice, Marvell Thomas, and Bobby Manuel. She also found time to record her own solo projects, inlcuding the LP Long As You Love Me.

Sadly her name doesn't attract the attention it deserves given the late Bettye Crutcher was an immensely talented singer, songwriter and producer. Unfortunately good luck finding any real information on the woman, let along her wonderful solo LP.
The mid-1960s found Crutcher living in Memphis. A single parent raising three boys on her own, she paid her bills working as a full time nurse, but had a driving desire to make it in the music business. As a result she worked her medical job all day; fed and put her kids to bed, and then would write and record material into the early hours of the morning. A prolific songwriter she initially tried to score a contract with Hi Records but was turned down by the label. A 1966 audition with Stax didn't go much better with David Porter supposedly telling Crutcher that her material wasn't bluesy enough. A week later Crutcher returned with a slew of bluesy material and was signed on as a staff writer.
Teamed with Homer Banks and Raymond Jackson (known collectively as We Three), the trio almost immediately scored a massive hit in the form of Johnny Taylor's cover of 'Who's Making Love' and over the next three years became one of the biggest sources of hit material for Stax. following the breakup of the We Three writing team Crutcher continued to enjoy successes on her own. Those successes eventually saw Crutcher given an opportunity to record on her own.
Co-produced by Crutcher and longtime writing partner Mack Rice, 1974's "Long As You Love Me" was a pleasant surprise to me ears. Many folks make their names as songwriters due to the fact they simply couldn't cut it as performers, but it turns out Crutcher was an exception to the rule. Blessed with an attractive, if slightly underpowered voice Crutcher proved herself a more than capable performer on this set. While it wasn't a perfect comparison, on songs like 'Up for a Little Down' Crutcher came off sounding like a tougher Dionne Warwick - imagine Warwick with Memphis soul roots rather than her MOR orientation and you'd be in the ballpark ... Showcasing ten original songs (most co-written with Rice), the set was equally divided between ballads and more up tempo numbers. While ballads like 'Long As You Love Me' and 'Passion' were quite enjoyable, Crutcher was actually at her best on up tempo and slinkier numbers like the funky groover 'When We're Together', 'A Little Bit More Won't Hurt' and the top 40-ready 'Sugar Dady'. That said the set certainly had some limitations. Crutcher lacked the chops to handle a truly gritty song - check out her ragged performance on 'Sunday Morning's Gonna Find Us In Love' and the heavy orchestration occasionally threatened to drown her out (blame arranger Johnny Allen).
